The Main Event

Step into the fascinating world of birds of prey with this unforgettable 3 Hour Falconry Experience, a hands-on adventure that offers the chance to meet, handle and learn about some of nature’s most majestic aerial hunters.

Perfect for animal lovers, wildlife enthusiasts or anyone searching for a truly memorable gift, this immersive falconry experience provides a rare opportunity to get up close to magnificent birds including hawks, falcons, owls and eagles, depending on location.

Led by expert falconers, your session begins with an introduction to the birds and the ancient art of falconry. You’ll learn about each species’ unique characteristics, hunting behaviours and natural instincts, gaining fascinating insight into what makes these predators such remarkable creatures.

Then comes the highlight of the day, the chance to handle the birds yourself.

Wearing a falconry glove and guided by experienced handlers, you’ll have the opportunity to hold these incredible birds of prey on your arm and experience their power, beauty and presence up close. It’s a truly special moment that offers a real appreciation for their size, strength and grace.

Throughout the session, you’ll also witness stunning aerial displays as the birds take to the skies, demonstrating their speed, agility and precision in flight. Watching them soar overhead before swooping back to the falconer is a breathtaking sight and one of the most memorable parts of the experience.

Available at multiple UK locations and for up to five people, this falconry experience makes a fantastic day out for couples, families or small groups wanting to enjoy something unique together.

  • Spectacular

    I purchased this experience for my husbands birthday. It was a very cold day we didn't plan it well which is normal for us standing in feild for 3 hours that said it was brilliant very interesting Riley had a very special bond with the birds. Everyone had a chance to handle the birds up close and personal thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Just remember if it's a chilly day wrap up. Would hi.ghly recommend this experience.

  • Falconry day

    It was a lovely experience but the weather let it down. The falconer was really nice and knowledgeable.
    What would have been better was to have few less people as we were standing around a lot doing nothing waiting for a few minutes handling.

  • Wonderful experience

    Great location and Erin was very informative and answered any questions that were asked of her. It was great handling the birds and being up close and personal! The 3 hours seemed to fly by (excuse the pun) but would definitely recommend if you get the opportunity to go.......do so!

  • Fantastic day

    What an amazing experience! I booked a falconry experience and it was fantastic!! We had the amazing Laura and she was so knowledgeable and was a joy to talk to throughout the day. Would definitely recommend.
    Only issue I had was the lady on the front desk....upon arrival she was extremely rude/snappy to me (which other guests witnessed)! Alittle off putting but didnt ruin the overall experience!
